Problems running SSL VPN on windows 10 with Java and admin permissions
Dear all, I did upgrade my system to windows 10 and now I'm having issues to connect using the SSL VPN. Any time I try to connect java shows an error code 740: java.io.IOException: Cannot...
The Java VPN Plugin has never worked in a 64bit OS. My understanding was due to lack of a non-IE 64bit browser.
What you can try is to download a 64bit browser and test it with the Java plugin on a 64bit OS.
Firefox just released this in December. https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/12/15/firefox-64-bit-for-windows-available/
Chrome, click on "Download Chrome for Another Platform" under the Download Chrome button. https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html
I have not tested this since I rarely use SSL VPN anymore.
Give it a shot and let us know if it works or not.

It doesn't work. My previous post was not clear. I used a 64-bit browser on a 64-bit Win10 and it didn't work. I did NOT use a 32-bit browser on a 64-bit OS. I understand the business reasons for not doing what I'm about to suggest, but it would be most helpful and customer friendly - create a Java-based VPN app like Fortigate, Sidewinder and Watchguard. I think I may have to switch to one of those.
